I am a quantitative psychologist, which means I'm someone who's interested in designing and conducting psychological research and designing/critiquing psychological and educational tests. I'm in my eighth year teaching at UVU, and I love it.

Education:

B.S. in psychology, Brigham Young University (2007)

Graduate certificate in education and social science advanced research methods, Texas A&M University (2009)

Teaching and Research Interests:

I see teaching and research as inextricably linked. I like to write research articles that teach readers about statistical methods and psychological testing. I also enjoy bringing real-life research examples into my classes and to have students work on research projects—mine or their own. I am most interested in conducting research on testing, statistical methods, advanced academics (e.g., gifted programs, honors courses, Advanced Placement) and human intelligence.

My latest teaching endeavor is my textbook, Statistics for the Social Sciences: A General Linear Model Approach, published by Cambridge University Press in December 2017. I'm excited to bring my pedagogy to a wider audience and to partner with the folks at Cambridge in making statistics more accessible for social science students. You can order the book from Amazon.com or Cambridge University Press.
